What works well:

I really like the addition of comparison entities like the US Kongress, Venture Capitalists and Fortune 500 CEOs.

The colors are well chosen and the labelling and division with reference lines is really helpful

Sources and contributors are clearly listed

What could be improved:

The color for ‘white’ is very similar to ‘male’, which can potentially be confusing

Comparing over time is challenging because the year filter shows only one year at a time. So did these companies get closer to a gender balance over time? What has changed? These questions cannot easily be answered

What I did:

I limited myself (somewhat) to an hour, by deciding to make this a quick MM in favor of spending time with my family and baking Christmas cookies with mum

To compare female vs male workforce I found a slope chart to work pretty well

I added a highlighter to my dashboard in case people wanted to find specific companies among the many lines.

I decided to show the overall picture rather than providing all the detail for every company. While this results in a viz that isn’t as informative on the individual company level, as it could be, it shows the overall state of business: the slope going up to the right shows that basically every company has a substantial amount more men in their workforce than women
